IK MULTIMEDIA / iRig Micro Amp

Battery-powered compact guitar amp with iOS/USB compatible digital interface

IK Multimedia, an Italian company known for its lineup of music apps and peripherals for mobile devices, is known as a brand that knows everything about guitar sounds, including the various iRig series and the standard guitar app AmpliTube.

IK Multimedia is now releasing a compact, battery-powered guitar amp, the iRig Micro Amp. It has three channels, clean, drive, and lead, and a powerful 15W output that is hard to imagine given its size.
In addition, it is equipped with a digital interface equivalent to iRig HD 2, so it can be connected to iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads, as well as Mac/Windows computers. You can enjoy more detailed sound creation using the bundled amp simulator AmpliTube app.

The iRig Micro Amp condenses these rich functions into a compact size that can be easily carried anywhere, allowing you to play and record anytime, anywhere.

○ iRig Micro Amp Product Overview The compact iRig Micro Amp is a powerful guitar amp that you would never imagine from its size, with an output of 15W when connected to a power source and 7.5W even with six AA batteries. The built-in 4-inch custom voice speaker boasts the same power and volume as amps twice the size of other companies. Of course, it's not only powerful, but also has a rich and warm sound inherited from the industry-standard amp simulator AmpliTube. Three channels, clean, drive, and lead, can be switched with a single push button. With four tone controls, gain, low, mid, and high, you can easily get the sound you want. The iRig Micro Amp also has a 4-ohm cabinet output, so if you need a larger volume or speaker, you can directly drive the cabinet of a stack amp in a practice studio, so it can be used for band practice, and even for street performances. It also has an AUX input for connecting MP3 players and a headphone output, so you can use it for personal practice at home.

And the biggest point unique to IK Multimedia products is that it has an interface equivalent to iRig HD 2 built in, allowing you to digitally connect to iOS devices and computers.
You can play using 10 amps and 26 stomp models in the bundled iOS app, AmpliTube CS, and 9 amps and 10 stompboxes in AmpliTube 4 for Mac/Windows. In other words, you can create authentic sounds using various amps and pedals, allowing you to practice and record at a higher level.

Right out of the box, you can enjoy everything guitar playing has to offer, from vintage tones to high gain sounds and even creative sounds using effects, with an incredibly compact amp.
